I'd love to see a picture of you wearing it. Years and years ago I had a red shirt dress from Brooks Brothers. It was beautifully made, and I enjoyed wearing it. </p> <p>I'm trying to think if I have anything that is my dream _____. I have some pale grey pointy Ariat booties that I love.

It's my Eileen Fisher tank dress. I don't think I've ever had a more useful dress. It works with all kinds of different jackets/sweaters or can be worn on its own without showing bra straps.

A classic that you can wear for years. You are fortunate to have the figure for this dress. How the dress looks on the hanger ..., that's how it looks on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dream-dress#post-1819957 Fri, 30 Jun 2017 21:35:00 +0000 Aquamarine 1819957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have a dream dress, but yours is lovely. I can see it working for you for many years...classic, but more interesting because of the lace.
